I have an archer aspiring to be an avatar of order, and I have several questions about stuff. Is Andor Drakon vulnerable to demon and humanoid slaying ammo? Can you teleport on the Chaos plane? Does ChAoS have the same layout every time, or is it (and Andor Drakon's location) randomly generated? I have the light source and death ray resistance taken care of (torch and trident) but as for the paralyzation resistance, should I use an amulet of free action (replacing the ankh) or boots of the divine messenger (replacing SLB's)? Should I raise mana with the mana orb before getting the unicorn to remove corruption? Any other advice? I might think of more later. |

Have lots and lots of healing stuff. And don't be afraid to use it. http://tankefel.blogspot.com/ So far you have only killed one wild cat. |

Boots of the Divine Messenger is probably better than 7LB. 7LB only reduces your base movement to 500 energy in dungeons, and BotDM is [+3,+3] with 5 to dexterity and resistance to death rays and paralysis, both of which Andor uses. May thy wisdom be omnipresent. |

you can teleport, the level layout is random and changes. i agree with einherjar, use the messengers kicks. don't know if he is vulnerable to demon, but i know he is to humanoid slaying. the greater moloch equips the hulking armor |

He is vulnerable to demon slaying. Every hit with TotRR is critical. Drink lots of potions of boost speed or use a wish for speed (if you have one). And paralysis resist is a must. Wear a amulet of free action, or those boots of yours, I would use boots. You could use Mana orb to raise mana, but don't use it too many times ;) Andor is vulnerable to slow monster spell (yes, he is) so you could cast it on him, but is a bit cowardly ;). You won't probably need it. Andy isn't that bad to kill. Just have decent DV and PV, scrolls of chaos resistance to get rid of corruption, paralysis and death ray resistance and some healing stuff. And don't care if he drains your stats. It doesn't matter anymore. The rust monster touches your blessed Trident of the Red Rooster. Nothing happens. You laugh at the monster's pitiful attempt. |

Just so you know, it's not necessary to use the trident for the entire fight. If you've got grand mastery in something else and a decent weapon (and another source of death ray resistance) use that - just make sure you switch back to the trident for the final blow. What do you wish for? wands of cat repellent_ |

yah use the boots, the Anhk <blessed of course> provides a measure of relief from the 300pt hits <read, hits hits less often, you hit more often> tell us how it goes |

Thanks for the advice everybody, Divine boots it is. Alex: I'm an archer, so I might not use the trident at all. Crossbow attack cost: 336. |

I did it! I knew I was awesome before, but now it's official! I'll try to keep the flag brief. 3 wishes (all RoDS), but one was spent on Scroll of Danger and one was spent on AoLS, which left me only one for myself (find weakness). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Screenshot ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ########################################## ################## ################# #..........##........# #.# .#../# . ##.###.###.##..#...#....###.##...#.....#..# #....#...#...#...#...# ....##.(/###. .##..#..#...........#....#......##...#..# #..#.#....#.#..##.#.... . #...#.##.##.....#..##........#.......#.#....#.# #..##....#........#...# . ###. ##.@j...##....#.....#.......#..#......#.....#.# #....#.#.##...#.##.#..... ##jj##...# # ##....#....#...........##.#......## ##.....#..#..#.#..#..... . . ###/... ###.## ###.#..##........#....#...#....###.# ##....##........#.##...#.# .. #./#. # # .##.#..#.......#.....#.#..#.....## #............#...##........ #...#.( #### ...#........##......#....#.#.#.....# #.#....##.#.....##.###.#...#..####.## # ##. .................#.#.##.##....#.# ##..#.#.......#..#......... #### #.# ## # ## .......#.#......#.........#.....# #...#.....#....###...##..##.# .# #. # ## # .###.....#.##.#.#.........##.##..# #..#..#...#..#..##.......... ## .. # # # .....#.....#..##....#.#....#.#.#...# #....##.###.#.#.#...#......##. ##.. # # # .#.......#....#.###..#...#..#....# ##........#.#.......#..#....##..##. # ..###.#.....#.##...#..#...........# #..#..###.....#.....#..#.......#.## ## #.#.........###.......##....#.##...# #......................###....#....# # ####....####..#.#..........##...#..##...# #...##..##.#.....#...........##.#...#.## .....#.............##....#.#..##..#...# #..#..#.#.##.......#.#.#..#...#..###.....####..#.##.###.#####................#.# ######################################### ########### ### #################### Fred St:80 Le:34 Wi:49 Dx:73 To:64 Ch:28 Ap:27 Ma:84 Pe:32 L+ DV/PV: 96/86 H: 993(993) P: 8(1386) Exp: 50/37603137 ChAoS Sp: 227 Blessed Bloated ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Background Information ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Fred Race: male Human Class: Archer Eye color: green Hair color: red Complexion: light Height: 6'2" Weight: 81 pounds Scars: 3 Age: 22 (grown-up) Star sign: Candle Birthday: 11/Candle (day 281 of the year) YOUR HISTORY: Your parents belong to the nobility.

All the forces of Order seem to be united behind them. You are lifted to the status of an Avatar of Order and the tales of your deeds are spread all over Ancardia. Your deeds are recounted at camp fires and interpreted by philosophers and priests alike. The common man looks up to you and you slowly start to be revered as a minor power of Order. After a few millennia have passed you are raised to the position of a demi-god to guard and protect Ancardia from the forces of Chaos and Balance forever. Under your guidance Ancardia becomes an orderly and organized world without striking changes. Peaceful order (and boredom?) spreads and the world enters an era of peace and tranquility never again leaving it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- His achievements during his adventures: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fred, the human archer, transformed into an avatar of Order.

yaa, nice work there! I had a nice archer (aspiring avatar) going today, but got killed by a high lvl acid vortex. Precrowned with Sun's Messenger and all (patch) *sigh*. oh well, i guess the RNG won't do that again in my lifetime. :) the greater moloch equips the hulking armor |

Thanks, everybody. Thedrin: What, you've never started with 69 strength before? Yeah, strength, willpower, dexterity, mana, toughness and speed are all boosted quite a bit. I could have saved boost perception too, but that might be overdoing it. Boosting mana was probably overdoing it already. I just thought of another thing I could mention... I never actually found a single potion of uselessness in the whole game. Which is kind of a shame. Better luck next time, eppztr. |
